Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain the canned salmon thoroughly and flake it into a mixing bowl, removing any large bones or skin if desired.
  2. Add the grated onion, lemon juice, and mayonnaise to the salmon and stir until well combined and creamy.
  3. Slice the cheddar cheese into four even slices, approximately 2.5 ounces each.
  4. Lay out four thick slices of bread and spread the salmon mixture evenly over each slice.
  5. Top each salmon-covered slice with a slice of cheddar cheese.
  6. Place the remaining four slices of bread on top to complete the sandwiches.
  7. Generously butter both outer sides of each sandwich.
  8. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  9. Place the sandwiches in the hot skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.
  10. Carefully flip the sandwiches and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until browned and the cheese is fully melted.

Note

Serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best texture.

If the bread is very thick, you may need to reduce the heat slightly to ensure the cheese melts before the bread burns.

For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the salmon mixture.
